It didn't take long for Dalvin Cook to make his mark in the Minnesota Vikings' “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. On his first drive of the game, the star running back punched in a touchdown.

Watch below. Cook bounces to the right side for a two-yard touchdown rush. He walks into the end zone easily for the first score of a highly-anticipated matchup between two of the NFC's best teams.

That's about as easy as it gets for Cook. The Vikings schemed up a power run to the right side on the touchdown. He followed pull blocks from the left guard and fullback to walk into the end zone. On the backside of the play, the right guard performed a trap block to seal off any pressure coming from behind.

Just like that, the Vikings were up in Seattle.
